Topic: Similar Threads

Was wondering if anyone was planning on making a modification that displays similar threads at the bottom of the page similar to how you see a lot of forums that run vB.

Re: Similar Threads

And how would something qualify as 'Similar'? The topic name is 50% or up the same?

Re: Similar Threads

It would probably need to search the first post, and title, and look for a minimum number of similar words.

Re: Similar Threads

www.photographytalk.net uses a 'Similar Threads' feature, you'd have to ask them how they did it.
